Well, this should shut up all the kids who whined about the last update only being one small fix. Spray logo import ability sounds interesting (maybe making custom sprays even easier to make and employ?). Snatching the update now.



EDIT: I spoke too soon. Now everyone's gonna complain about the lack of a cs map. *sigh*

LOLOLOLOL YEAH WHY FIX BUGS THAT WILL BRING HL2 CLOSER TO A FINAL BUILD?

[RockSteady]

hey how about the freakishly weird floating weapons bug.

[XanMas]

Why don't we all shut up and enjoy our beta until we get our paws on HL2 and CS:S?

[ElCheezo]

Me too =P

Fixed upper-case characters not being usable in the buy or team selection menus.

Wow, so that's what was wrong? I thought it was just my computer being an ass.

It wouldn't be a CS community if there wasn't whining about one thing or another.



Hey guys? The more of these bugs that are fixed, the sooner the game will get here. Then you can play all your favorite maps til your little hearts just explode from your chests with joy!



Keep in mind, this is a BETA to test the ENGINE, not a "give you everything you demand because you've been spoiled up til this point" test.

There was also an extended change log earlier that had about 2-3 extra items on it compared to this one

This being it:

* Stopped deathcam jumping to the wrong player on death.

* Several fixes to allow Windows 98 to work.

* Added spray-logo import ability in the Options dialog.

* Added support for binding non QWERTY (i.e AZERTY) keyboard keys.

* Improved client interpolation on high latency links (smoothing out the experience).

* Improved auto-pickup behavior for CS weapons.

* Fixed splashscreen not showing up immediately when starting the game in fullscreen in some cases.

* Players switched via mp_autoteambalance do not lose items, score, or equipment.

* Upper-case characters can be used as hotkeys (e.g. using either 'A' or 'a' on the CS buy menu for autobuy)

* Made it so Terrorists win if all hostages are dead and round timer expires.

* Added a login dialog to allow refreshing of an invalid steam login while in game.

* Improved lag compensation for hit detection

* Enabled MOTD functionality.

So... a T could kill all the hostages and then hide/camp until the end of the round and the Ts would win. Thats seems like a bad idea.

On the other hand, it could be added incentive for the CTs to wait out the round and win the match. I don't disagree with you...this one could be iffy.



Let's reserve final judgement for when we can actually test it.
